RuPaul isn’t just the world’s most famous drag queen and the host/hostess of the smash reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race… He’s also an astute commentator on culture, self-worth, knowing thyself and how to succeed in this thing called life. And after nearly 30 (!!!!) years in showbiz, he’s happy to share some wisdom.

That’s one reason why these little recent sit-down interview sessions Ru has done with VH1 Blog’s Rich Juzwiak are so fab. In addition to getting dishy news about Drag Race, Ru also serves up life lessons. “Hello, OWN? We’ve got the next Oprah right here, thanks!”
